Europe's Living Countryside - UK National Report

Posted on 19 December 2005

The EU's Rural Development Programme is part of the Common Agricultural Policy, and WWF believes it has the potential to deliver on key environmental objectives, such as biodiversity loss and water use.

As part of the Europe's Living Countryside (ELCo) project, WWF and its partners analysed the national Rural Development programmes in seven countries and explored how environmental priorities and objectives might better be identified and addressed in the new rural development programmes.
